I got to see a ROAK today

Well I call it one anyway.

I am leaving the pediatrician's office today and in front of me is a man on a motorcycle who is behind a pickup truck. I see the guy on the bike waving. I assumed he was waving at someone he knows.

As I watch he puts the stand down on his bike and walks up to the tail of the pickup in front of him. He picks something up and runs to the drivers window of the pickup. The driver rolls down the window and I see them speak. The biker guy hands a wallet to the guy in the truck. Apparently his wallet (or someone's in the truck) was laying on the bumper!

The light changed and the biker rushed back to his bike and we all went on our merry way. When the truck turned off the driver waved at the biker and the biker waved back.

Just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(I also said a quick prayer that God might bless the guy on the bike for his kindness to a stranger.

)

Just thought I would share

Since we own 2 Harleys and most of our friends are bikers, I just want to comment that most bikers are very friendly people, that would do just about anything for anyone!

That was a wonderful story, thank you for sharing!

oh, I didn't mean biker in a bad connotation! I just didn't feel like typing "the guy on the motorcycle" one hundred times lol. I hope I didn't come across as suprised at the guy on the bikes actions because he was on a bike! I just thought it was really cool that he saw the wallet and was able to get it to the guy in the truck before it was just lost on the road somewhere.

I think that if it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have noticed the wallet back there. I certainly didn't from my car. I think by being on a bike and not having his field of vision obstructed by a windshield. Its likely he could see the black wallet on the black bumper better than other people could. And even if they did see it, would they have bothered?
